This means avoiding conflict whenever possible and only fighting when it is absolutely necessary.     2. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

 5 Lessons I Learned From The Book ‘As a Man Thinketh’ 1) You Become What You Think You are what you are right now because of the thoughts you once had or have. If you want to change yourself, you should first start with changing your thoughts. All the actions of man arise from the hidden seeds of thoughts. Just with the right choice and application of thought, man can ascend to divine perfection; while with wrong choice and application of thought, he can rise below the level of the beast. Good thoughts and results can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.  2)Your Mind is Like a Garden The author creates an analogy of our mind with the garden. We either choose to cultivate our mind wisely or let it run wild. If we don’t plant the seeds of beautiful flowers in our garden, the garden will itself produce some useless weeds. Just as the gardener weeds out all unnecessary plants it is the responsibility of every individual to plant the ...

 10 Leadership Lessons from" The Leader in you"-Dale Carnegie 1. Talk less, listen more. People will pay attention to what you say, just because of your position. The leader’s job is to pay attention to what other people say, especially those who think their views don’t count. Show you’re listening by acting on what people tell you, and gain their trust by giving them the credit. 2. Don’t step in with solutions too quickly. No-one learns anything new if you keep doing what you already know how to do, and don’t allow others to try. Anyway, they may find a different, or better way, and if not… mistakes are valuable too. 3. Be authentic. Be authentic, passionate, even emotional, about what you believe in. Share your vision and live your values. The personal is more engaging, even inspiring, than the process. 4. Don’t ‘dis’ downwards. Once a decision is made by the Board, or the leadership team, it’s yours even if you argued against it during discussions. Your job as leader is to...

 Top 6 lessons from the book- You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero 1)Why You Must Live in the Present Moment You must practice living in the present moment because, according to Jen Sincero, living in the present unites you with Vortex/God and raises your frequency. A higher frequency enables you to attract higher-frequency experiences such as abundance, joy, laughter, and bliss. 2)You Have a Shadow Self and a True Self Your shadow self, the Ego, is guided by your limiting beliefs, and it either lives in the past or future. It is unaware that you are connected to your surroundings, and it loves praise and validation. Conversely, your true self is in alignment with God/Spirit, and it often strives to attract a reality that matches your true potential. 3)Trust Your Intuition Always trust your intuition because your intuition is your inner guidance that has all the answers you need. Stop taking people’s advice and rely on your intuition when making decisions or taking action. 4)Why You Mus...

 Top 6 lessons learned from the book "The Happiest Man On Earth" 1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure?
